Going home...or maybe not!

As we were driving home today I told Kevin that the vacation didn't feel complete to me. I'm fairly sure that is because I had mastitis on Friday and spent nearly 30 hours in bed with a fever of 102+. Kevin (the wonderful husband that he is) quickly turned the car around and we set a course for Longbeach!

I was thrilled to get a few more hours of vacation and so was the rest of the family! Washington state beaches are very different then Oregon's. Our beaches are state highways with speed limits and all (although I couldn't tell you what the speed limit is...we just enjoy driving on the beach). We also have horses! I can't tell you how excited I was to see the horses, but I can say that there was a bunch squeals from the back of the van. "Can we ride them mom??!!"

This was a big year for Austin. He was able to drive the Go Karts! No more riding in the passenger seat, he has moved up to the captain chair. They went racing around the course at record speeds. Austin told me several times since then that the only thing he wants to have is a Go Kart and he is willing to give me all of his money and his Christmas presents as well as birthday gifts. I only wish it would be that easy!
